Uke is working in a black company and wakes up frantic one morning thinking he was late, only to realize it was his day off after leaving his house. Not wanting to go back home and waste the day, thereby making his workday come that much faster, he heads to the beach to kill some time. He gets hit by a rogue wave and pulled under. Drowning, he struggles at first, but then has the thought that should he die, at least he wouldn't have to go back to work, so he kinda gives up. At that time he's saved by a mysterious man, our seme. When uke wakes up he finds himself in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea and that the mysterious man is actually Urashima Tarou from the folk tale (a man saved a turtle and in gratitude it brings him to the Dragon palace for hospitality. Tarou seemingly only stays for a short amount of time, but once brought back to land a massive amount of time had passed and he quickly ages into an old man). Turns out most of the stuff form the tale are false and seme has been living in the Palace, living the life of a neet/gigolo, for near 1000 years. Otohime, the princess, the propositions uke that in exchange for increasing his luck and guaranteeing him a better work life, he must bring seme back to the surface and help him acclimate to human life again. Uke immediately agrees. Seme is very reluctant to return though and uke sternly scolds him, which is the beginning of seme falling for uke. Anytime uke tries to convince seme to return, seme either runs or does lewd things to uke to avoid it. After going back and forth about it for a while, ukes body starts to disappear because his souls is unstable in its near death state. With this seme finally agrees to go back to the surface. Once there though he has trouble adapting, so he spends time going back and forth for a while. Eventually, he and uke manage to get him used to it enough to stay permanently and uke finally confesses as well. Happy ending! This one was a fun read!
